#027 "Of the People, For the People" (Isaiah 9:7)
“Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. (Isaiah 9:7, ESV)
Government—yep, we’re going there. If this feels like the last topic you want to dive into, that’s exactly why you should join Kate today as she talks about it.
This episode journeys back through history, beyond presidents, emperors, and even King David, to a time when the Hebrew people were ruled directly by God. Yet they rejected Him, demanding a human king instead. What followed was a history of failed leadership and flawed governments, mirroring the corruption and brokenness in our own hearts.
Kate challenges us to reflect on what rules us today—whether it’s cultural trends, media, or personal desires—and draws a powerful parallel between Israel’s choice and our daily decisions to reject God’s leadership in favor of worldly influences.
But there’s hope. Isaiah 9:7 points to a perfect and eternal government established by Christ, a King "of the people, for the people," who embodies justice, righteousness, and peace. Join this thoughtful and timely discussion as we examine human history, our own hearts, and the ultimate hope we have in Jesus’ eternal kingdom.
Don’t miss this episode—it’s convicting, encouraging, and guaranteed to make you think about Christ's coming government in a whole new light.
